My nephew and his wife have announced the arrival of their second daughter, Penny. All safe and well. Really emotional, Penny was my late sweet Mama's name. Wow. Doesn't matter, it's just love poking through.
I decided to make a welcome to the world card for Penny, and guess what - I've only got about three stamps that are anywhere near qualifying as 'baby'!
Whilst I was having post lunch coffee, I bashed out a few of these little sleepy duck images, painted them with the glittery paint pen things (can't remember what they're actually called) and left them to dry while I went out to paint. I hope that each is slightly different, the bottom left image is really quite paint heavy so have pretty much already ruled that out for use. So this is yesterday's desk, but totally untouched this morning, and will be till much later! You can see the Paper pad in all its glory....I've rifled through it at least twice now. One day I might use something from it!Join in then if you will, and if you're just here to read that's fine! You're welcome here, to contribute or not. Sometimes we just don't have the puff!
Good morning Julia, cute sleeping ducks! I don't have anything suitable for a baby card - I would have to search Google and print something. Congratulations to your nephew and wife. Happy WOYWW Angela #1
ReplyDeleteLove the ducks! congrats to your nephew and his wife and baby Penny. Whilst I haven't thrown out any of my stamps I am not sure if I ever had new baby suitable images either.... Happy WOYWW. Helen xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and what a super name choice, so special. Pondering what I'd do for a baby card now! Hugs BJ#3
ReplyDeleteAaw, can understand you being emotional about the name choice, such a lovely thought (and a name I always wanted to be called as a child).
ReplyDeleteNow that is a good idea to do so9me ducks, especially if you use Wink o Stella on them. I am assuming that is the glitter name?
Hugs, Neet 4 xx
Welcome to the world little Penny and congratulations to all. I love the little ducks.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Aah Congratulations to all concerned!! Love your little ducks. Weirdly I have made 2 baby cards this week - my friend up the road has just become a grandma and I have known her kids since they were in nursery so it's lovely to see the next generations coming on. Have a great week!! (Do let me know when you need any money for crop!!) xx
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ANY baby oriented cards! I think I made one once using kid themed dingbats LOL! Your sleepy ducks are cute and how lovely the baby has your Mama's name!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!

Congratulations to all and welcome baby Penny! Lovely to share a family name!
ReplyDeleteNot sure that I have many suitable baby stamps. I'm afraid I have been doing sympathy cards...
Ooh lovely new addition to the family, i dont think i have many baby craft items either (thats NOT am excuse for me to buy some!!) 😀

Oh I do love a new baby in the family! I hope they are close by enough for you to squidge. I'm not sure I would have anything to use for a baby card either but now I'm coveting your very cute ducks! I don't know about these glittery pens... I knew this desk hopping was dangerous! Have a lovely week, Lisa-Jane #10
ReplyDeleteA new family member, how lovely. Not sure I have much baby stuff either as there hasn't been much need for them in our family but I know you'll come up with something lovely. Have a good day and hope you manage to get back to the desk some time. Hugs Angela x12x
ReplyDeleteI did (and do) have the puff to read ánd join today! ("Have the puff", we use that same proverb in the Netherlands, I didn't know that was an English saying too...) Congrats with the new girl coming into the family! I like the little sleeping duck on your desk. I wouldn't know what to create when a baby gets born, I don't have any baby-stuff around either... good luck finishing your welcome card! Love from 'the other side of the sea', Marit #15
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your family on your new Penny! Your ducks are cute.
ReplyDeleteTake care and happy WOYWW

Agh! Heart stopped then...a sign popped up and said,'We are having problems finding that site' (oh no! puff puff puff! is it going to start blocking me out again...' Back again, and it's all okay! Phew. Well I love your ducks, and I hope we get to see baby Penny's card when it's finished. Have a lovely week, Happy WOYWW!?((Lyn))
ReplyDeletecONGRATULATIONS TO aLL. Been a long time since any new babes were born around here! I've a few cards I made quite long ago, but I don't think people are not even having baby showers. Painting, means good weather? Abd bit a hib U kuje, We set our clocks ahead for daylight savings time so early mornings are bright and cheery. But it's an adjustment to getting up ! Have a great week and Wishing you well.
ReplyDeleteThe ducks are cute! Hope you post your card!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new family member. Such a sweet gesture to name her after your mother.
Have a great week!
Hugz,

Aw cute little ducks. I might have to knit a few Easter ones. 🤣 x x Jo
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being a Great Aunt again! How fun to have a new baby in the family, an one with your mother's name to boot! Cute little ducks will make a lovey card! Have a wonderful week, Lindart #19
ReplyDeleteDearest much missedJulia, I'm absolutely thrilled over Penny, how wonderful ❤️ and precious.
ReplyDeletePray every day for you all and receive yours and few other wwoywers posts too.
Need to subscribe for few more but I'm losing the race against the clock and as you say lack of puff so not joined this month despite best of intentions.
Loads of love and prayer and delighted with your grand news. God is good.
Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz.x
Popped in to catch up with a few blogs after reading Sarah's sad news on Facebook this morning. I was thinking of actually linking a blog post, as my craft room is becoming more empty with stash getting sold on Facebook and Ebay, but running out of hours in the day. Next week, perhaps ! Ali xx
